Philanthropist
Philanthropist (noun) one who makes an active effort to promote human welfare.
“I did, however, start to recognize the land marks: the Boulevard Mall, the Las Vegas Country Club, Sunrise Hospital, all built in the 1950’s and 1960’s by Moe Dalitz, who wanted to be remembered not as a bootlegger but as a philanthropist.”
When I first encountered the word philanthropist, I used context clues and I know it was the study of something. I furthered my knowledge by searching up the word on www.merriam-webster.com and got the definition stated above. The definition means the health and well-being of persons. It can be used in a sentence such as spoken as a true philanthropist.
